Hi,
Maybe i'm missing something - it all seems too easy, if you could shine a torch on my ignorance it would be much appreciatted?

I'm particularly interested in talking to someone who can set up operating systems to have multiple versions of perl installed on it.

For a few years now i've been religously adding new users to my linux box when a new project comes along - after which I install into the new home dir ( as the user ) apache, mod_perl, perl etc before beginning any work. It keeps the whole thing clean and is pretty pain free, and its pretty simple too. I've only been using one version of perl in all the different areas, but unless there is somekind of prereq hell I've managed to be lucky enough to avoid
I wouldn't imagine it to be too difficult to set up different versions.
